A Local Song
“I'm a decent married woman Brigid Reilly is my name”

A Local Song
8th June, 1938 I'm a decent married woman,
Brigid Reilly is my name,
I married a decent fellow,
And we live in the Water Lane. He goes down the street,
With His polished boots and tie
And leaves poor Brigid in the corner. When he comes home
It is then the sport begins,
For the heart of the row
Is Brigid Kelly.(continues on next page)- Collector
